Abby works dayshift in the ER. She is being recognized for her outstanding compassion that she displayed. She had just gotten off work from the ER and was running errands when she came upon a wreck on Highway 280. She stopped and noticed bystanders doing CPR on someone and she jumped in to help out with chest compressions and care until Birmingham Fire and Rescue came on the scene. Abby left her car on the side of the road and rode in the ambulance to help care for the critical patient while they were being transported to the hospital. Abby was due to come back to work the next day. She showed compassion and owned it! She deserves to be recognized!
